Excerpt from Judson Centennial Services: A Compilation of the Addresses, Papers, and Remarks, Given at the Services, Together With Extracts From Letters Received by the Committee, Etc It was but natural that the Baptist church, occupying the field so distinguished as the birthplace of Adoniram Judson, should make the memorable 9 th of August, 1888, a day for especial memorial services. At the first the more local observance was in mind, but as the matter was entered upon, the wide significance of the day in the calendar of Baptist mission history, and all mission history, led to a widening of the plan, until it included in its invitations the churches in the immediate vicinity, and officers of the National and State Baptist bodies, with leading men of other faiths. Had it been less wide in its representation, the service would not have called for an extended report. But the correspondence of the Committee became so interesting, the speeches of the visiting brethren were so able and valuable, and so many choice things were crowded out for want of time, that it seemed but justice to the church itself, and to the denomination at large, that a full report of the proceedings should be made, and more, that they should be made in convenient and permanent form. For these reasons we have issued the present pamphlet, and trust that the labor of compiling may find its reward in a wider impulse to foreign missions being given to the churches where these pages shall come. In the make-up we have followed as nearly as practicable the programme of the day. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
